Jaw GOuld'S Churchyard.

Jay Gould's project of establishing a
railroad town in the West reminds the
Philadelphia Record of the story of the
summary manner in which he wrought
vengeance upon community that had
incurred his displeasure. When the
great strike was on one year ago on the
Missouri Pacific and other Western lines
controlled by Jay Gould the town OF
Sedalia, Mo-. was thriving place. 1t
was what is commonly known as a rail.
road town. Car shops were located
there, and Sedalia bore about the same
relation TO the Gould railroads in Missouri
that Altoona bears to the Pennsylvania
Railroad in this State. During the strike
the storekccpers and traders of the town
supported the railroad employees and
called mass meetings in their aid.
Travellers who now pass the place are
told that Jay Gould thought the Sedalia
people had gone further than the occa-
sion demanded. He became inccnscd at
their activity, and it is reported that
when the story of their doings
was laid before him he exclaimed: !:
Within year I will turn that town in
to a chnrchyard. The strike ended in
failure. Jay Gould ordered the removal
of the car-Shops aud Of all of his railroad
property. Within month the town of
Sedalia began to show signs of decay. As
the trains roll by and passengers note the
absence of life, trainmcn tell them that
the place is Jay Gould's churchyard.
The revenge of the great millionaire is

Do Stove.Pipe Hats Make Bald Heads?

The habit of wearing warm coverings
on the head is not of recent date; the
armies of Europe, for instance, no incon-
siderable number of men, with heads
close cropped, have worn for a long
period warmer and heavier head-gear
than the modern dwellers in cities, with
out the same tendency to badness. Nor
are the heavy fur coverings of northern
races incompatible with luxuriant hair. 1t
is also difficult to understand what in
Jury can result from close cutting, per- SC.
The growth is in the hair-folliclc, and in
it alone; there is no vital connection be-
tween the hair outside the scalp and with
in: it is usually cut closest at the back of
the head and neck, where badness never
occurs. Would not close cutting rather
stimulate the growth by exposure of the
scalp! Such at least is the popular belief.
So, too, with indoor life; women, who
ought to show it most, whether in the
home or in the factory, are never bald as
men are; on the contrary, it is most COM
mon with men in good circumstances: as
Mr.. Eaton's statistics show. men who
spend larger proportion of their day
time in the open air than the indoor
worker.
l believe the common form of badness
is due entirely to the kind of hat that is
worn, principally to the high hat and the
hard felt hat, but also to any other head
covering that constricts the blood-vessels
which nourish the hair-bulbs. TO have
clearer understanding of this, We must
remember that the scalp is supplied with
blood by arteries at the back, sides, and
front of. and lying close to, the skull,
which diminish in size by frequent
branching as they converge toward the
top of the head. They are in a most
favorable position to be compressed, ly-
ing on unyiclding bone and covered by
thin tissue. Consider what effect must
be produced by close-ftting heavy,
and rigid hat its pressure must lessen to
a certain extent the flow of arterial blood,
and obstruct to greater extent the re"
turn of the venous; the result being Il
sluggish circulation in the capillaries
around the hair follicles and bulbs, con-
sequent impairment of nutrition, and
final atrophy. This pressure is not
trivial or imaginary, as any one will ad-
nit who has noticed the red band of con-
gestion on the forehead when a hard hat
is removed after moderate exercise

He Got His Change.

One of those chronic dead-beats who
habitually infest society, railway and
street cars, boarded an Austin car, and
proceeded to develop his little game. 1t
was by no means a new one, and the
driver Immediately seized upon it, quietly
collected his fare in the shape of nickel,
and for several blocks nothing was said.
Then the fraud shivered the silence
with:
Gam l going to have my change for
that dollar l gave you:"
"You didn't give me a dollar replied
the driver, scowling darkly.
Eyes, but I did though. and if you
don't pass me over the ninety-tive cents,
III report YOU"
But you only gave me nickel"
II say 1 gave you dollar, and l want
some change" and the man stood upon
the platform glaring defiantly. The pas
sengers became interested, and the driver
shifted his position.
"Yoa are riding along all right enough
now, amt you?" inquired the railway
jehu.
"Yes, / 'sposc am"
"Wcll," said the driver, suddenly re.
moving his fist from the vicinity of the
beats nose, and shooting him off the car.

One Of the rarest. and certainly one of
the most interesting books in the library
nf the British Museum, is what our
ancestors called ''horn- book" 1t was.
in fact. their primer, the ordinary means
by which they began their education;
and down to the reign of George II. must
have been very common, for we see By
an entry in the account book of the
Archer family that one was sold in 1929
for twopence. At present there is no
book more difficult to obtain. The one
in the British Musula was found quarter
of a century ago in deep closet, built
in the thick walls of an old farmhouse
in Derbyshire. 1t is said laborer
engaged in pulling down the walls Of an
ancient house recognized it as that from
which his father had been taught to
read. Upon the hack is a picture OF
Charles l. on horseback, giving some
approximation to its date. 1t is a single
leaf, containing upon the front side the
alphabet, large and small, in Old English
and Roman letters, ten short columns of
mono syllablcs founded on the vowels,
and tie Lords Prayer: all set in frame
Of oak, now black with age, and pro-
1cctcd by slice Of transparent horn,
hence the name horn-book.
There is handle by which to hold it.
and in the handle hole for string, so
it could hang from the gridlc. A picture
of 1920 represents child running in
leading strings with horn-book tied to
her side. A cheaper kind of horn-book
had the leaf of printed paper pasted upon
the horn, and perhaps the greater num-
Der were made in this way. If so. it is
net singular they should be scarce, for
